Chapter 552: Overtime Crisis!

In the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the performance of the stars of both sides did not disappoint the audience, whether it was the Cavaliers' Big Three or the Knicks' golden twin guns, they all had very good performances, and the score was scorching until the last moment of the game without losing suspense.

James's personal data is actually not very eye-catching, at least compared to Xie Chen, it is much inferior, scoring less than 30 points, but the victory is average, and it is a great thing to have a triple-double in the playoffs.

Through this game, even if the results have not been determined yet, I believe that everyone will no longer question Xie Chen's identity as the first person in the league, without him chasing points again and again, the Cavaliers would have already made it garbage time with a huge lead.

In the last 16 seconds, the Cavaliers led the Knicks by two points at 107-105, and the Knicks had the ball.

"This ball is critical, the last ball must still be handed over to Xie Chen, Xie Chen has carried the task of scoring the team on his shoulders since the second quarter, see if he has a whole miracle, can he be magical again at this last moment." Yang Yi felt tired for Xie Chen.

Ke Fan also became excited: "I don't know if Xie Chen chooses to shoot two points or three points." ”

Xie Chen held the ball in the half, everyone in the Cavaliers team was highly concentrated, although they all knew that this last attack, more than 90% of the probability was that Xie Chen would play by himself, but the helpless thing was that they had to keep an eye on their own players.

James is very sensitive to Xie Chen's every move, and although the victory or defeat in the first game is not very important, in James's opinion, it can bring great confidence to the team.

"Chris Shea, Stephen Curry, I'm going to beat you all at once this year!" That's James' playoff ambition.

Xie Chen suddenly made a rapid breakthrough, which immediately caused panic in the defense of the knights. What James is most afraid of is that Xie Chen will make a strong layup, even if he can't play, Xie Chen can make a foul, so he stepped forward to intercept Xie Chen as soon as possible, and when Xie Chen saw James coming out, he immediately stopped and looked to both sides.

James was in a hurry. Seeing that Xie Chen meant to find a vacant seat for his teammates, he immediately yelled: "It's empty over there!" ”

The defender of Xie Chen quickly went to make up for the defense, and Xie Chen got the opportunity to play one-on-one with James.

There was still plenty of time, and Xie Chen wanted to score a quick two-point, but now Xie Chen decided to consume it until the end before making a move.

I saw Xie Chen dribbling the ball and suddenly retreating.

"He's drawing James along! He's going to go head-to-head with James on the last ball! ”

Xie Chen didn't stop until he retreated to the three-point line, but James really didn't dare to leave, followed Xie Chen step by step, and kept his hand outstretched, and always paid attention to the distance. Don't dare to go too far and don't dare to get too close.

At this time, the head coach of the Cavaliers, Tyronn Lue, was a little panicked: "Damn, how did the last ball become LeBron defending him!" ”

James has a huge height advantage and strength advantage in the face of Xie Chen, however, one-on-one, Xie Chen's speed is something that James can't limit, coupled with Xie Chen's fast-shooting ability, James may really not be the most suitable person to defend Xie Chen.

And for the fans. It's just too exciting, James defends Xie Chen. The two superstars decide whether the Cavaliers win or go to overtime!

James is more difficult now that he doesn't know whether Xie Chen wants to shoot three points or break through to score two points, relying on Xie Chen's conceit this season, give up the conservative two-point shot and choose a three-point shot to overtake the score. It's also possible.

"Luckily, I know the rhythm of his three-point shooting as well." James has studied Xie Chen very deeply, he has watched almost all of Xie Chen's three-point goals this season, and knows the rhythm and dribble method before Xie Chen's three-point shot, and he knows what Xie Chen looks like when he wants to shoot three-pointers.

Judging from the way Xie Chen dribbles now, it really does seem like a precursor to shooting three points.

The time ranges from 10 seconds all the way up to 8 seconds. 6 seconds.

"Does he really have to wait until the last second? And then kill us? James was a little panicked in his heart, because Xie Chen shouldn't consume time, he had no reason to do so, now the lead is the Cavaliers, not the Knicks, and now it's not a draw, Xie Chen has no reason......

James was thinking about it, when he saw Xie Chen's footsteps suddenly change.

"It's coming!"

Xie Chen rushed forward, and James also retreated, but Xie Chen followed a quick retreat, retreated to the three-point line again, and then stopped.

Although the footsteps stopped, the ball was still in the hands of one hand, and Xie Chen seemed to be about to shoot three points, but he still had the possibility of change.

James was ready to jump and block, but he still wanted to wait a little longer, and sure enough, Xie Chen didn't choose to shoot three points immediately, he broke through again and rushed into the three-point line, this time, a big step past James's defense.

There are only 3 seconds left.

Xie Chen singled James, he must use his footsteps to use speed, rushing back and forth like this, James will definitely be stunned by Xie Chen, even if he doesn't, following Xie Chen's back and forth reaction, the speed will definitely be slower.

There was not much time left, Xie Chen had no need to twist and turn any longer, and jumped up directly and made Michael Jordan's backward jumper!

LeBron James jumps up at the right time to block!

Xie Chen's feints did not deceive James, his advantage was only that he was ahead of James in the speed of the final breakthrough, but James faced Xie Chen's height and arm length, and the two estimated that they had canceled each other out.

At the last moment, James defended Xie Chen, Xie Chen's ability to choose was Michael Jordan's SS-level step-back jumper, and he chose this way to hit James, one is because this is an SS skill, which is safer and has a higher success rate, and the other reason is that Xie Chen fought with James for seven games last season, and James did not understand the threat of his move, so it was time for him to know.

James made a bounce that was no less than that of the Heat period, and his long arms stretched out to Xie Chen, in fact, Shambaugh on the other side also came to interfere with Xie Chen, but the distance was too far away and would not play a role at all.

Will Xie Chen's key goal be blocked by James? After all, the last attack of Joe Johnson, the former singles king, was covered by James, and James' defense was terrifying.

If you just look at the figures of the two of them, most people will worry about Xie Chen, but when they get to the air, everything is different.

James' hand was very close to the ball in Xie Chen's hand at first. But Xie Chen didn't shoot after jumping, his body was leaning back, and then the ball slowly moved away from James, until it was completely safe, Xie Chen projected the ball in an exaggerated and graceful posture.

"This action...... It's just beautiful. Kate Upton off the pitch was completely stunned. For her, it doesn't matter whether the ball goes in or not, because just when she looks at Xie Chen leaning back in the air, her parted legs are completely obsessed.

The ball eventually passed through James's hand, and James wanted to stop the ball, even if it was just a loss, but James still couldn't do it, he didn't think it was because he was too old to jump high enough. Instead, Xie Chen opened up the space to shoot at the beginning, and James couldn't block it.

Although James didn't know Jordan's step-back jumper, he taught Kobe, and he was still Kobe Bryant at his peak, although Kobe was shorter than James, and James didn't hit him, but James still couldn't block Kobe's shot. He knew how things were happening.

So, he only prayed for the ball. No, it won't hit!

"The ball is in! Xie Chen hit a crucial goal! The two sides were tied at the last minute! Ke Fan said excitedly, it was so enjoyable to see such a key goal in the first game!

There was a sigh at the scene, Xie Chen was still so magical! They couldn't help but think of Xie Chen who was in the Heat last season, which made them desperate again and again.

The knights had one last chance to attack, and Xie Chen left them less than two seconds. The Cavaliers had to shoot immediately after receiving the ball, Xie Chen guessed that this ball would not be given to his defenders, so he aimed at Lefu, Lefu jumped as soon as he received the ball, and Xie Chen quickly arrived. A slap to the lid off!

"Overtime! Xie Chen's block sent both sides to overtime! ”

“FUVK!” James scolded bitterly, how could there be overtime, they had every chance to defeat the opponent in the fourth quarter, he didn't want to play any overtime with the Knicks!

Until he returned to the dugout and sat down, James was still in a very bad mood.

Tyronn Lue had to soothe James and say to him, "LeBron, it's still good for us in overtime, Xie has been consumed too much, he can't be so amazing all the time." ”

James replied unceremoniously: "What if he will?" We can't put our hopes in his bad performance! ”

"That's, that's." Tyron Lue responded with a smile.

Lefu also said: "Judging from his step-back jumper and block my shot just now, his physical strength is still very abundant, I don't know if he will be like this every game, in short, he is in very good shape in this game, what a terrible iron man!" ”

James and Lefu both thought that there was nothing wrong with Xie Chen's physical strength, but the truth was the opposite.

Xie Chen was already a little tired sitting on the bench, and he kept wiping his sweat with a towel, and his heart was also agitated: "It's really depressing, I played two 48-minute games in four quarters in a row, and I even had to play overtime!" ”

This is not an ordinary game, this is the Eastern Conference Finals, the intensity of the Eastern Conference Finals is not the same as the usual game intensity, the fourth quarter consumes more physical strength than the usual four quarters, and now it has to play overtime, which is indeed a big test for Xie Chen.

But what can be done, in overtime, the team still needs Xie Chen to win!

In the first game of the series, the Knicks forced the home team into overtime, and it can be seen that the Knicks' strength is not inferior to the Cavaliers, and everyone understands that the whole series will not be too easy.

However, what no one expected was that the score of the stalemate in the fourth quarter suddenly changed in overtime.

After the start of overtime, James couldn't hold back, and finally began to exert his full strength, his speed was still fast, he was still very fierce, and the layup shooting rate under the basket was still very high, on the other hand, the Knicks' defense was no longer as solid and indestructible as in the first four quarters.

There is also a fatal problem, that is, rebounding, the Knicks in overtime can barely grab rebounds, even if the Cavaliers can't score, the Knicks can't launch a fast break, and they can't even grab the ball, and Lopez even fought harder because of this and was blown out of the court with six fouls.

"The situation of the Knicks entering overtime is a little bad, the Cavaliers have scored a lot of points quickly because the Knicks missed the shot, and all of them were initiated by James, he broke through the layup by himself and the Knicks couldn't prevent it, he passed the ball to assist the Knicks or couldn't prevent it, on the other hand, the Knicks, a single defensive blow like this didn't work, and now it depends on whether Xie Chen can save the team." Kefan began to worry about the Knicks.

After the resumption of the game, it became like this, something that no one expected, as the leader, Xie Chen should have stood up at this time to stabilize the morale of the army, but the problem is that he is the most tired one in the team, and he has no energy left to do anything.

Porzingis gave Xie Chen a pass at the top of the arc, the ball had not yet reached Xie Chen's hands, only a whoosh was heard, and a figure roared past, it was James! James suddenly jumped out from the bottom right corner and cut off the pass to Xie Chen!

The Cavaliers fans were excited, James took two big strides to the frontcourt, Xie Chen chased two steps, and then gave up.

Subsequently, James slid his hands and dunked violently, detonating the audience!

"Win! James is too strong! He proved himself! ”

Entering overtime, the Knicks didn't score much, and they even gave the Cavaliers two points for nothing, and now the fate is worrying.

Yang Yi also shook his head and sighed: "It's unbelievable that James actually cut off the pass to Xie Chen!" He gave up his defender and waited for Porzingis to pass the ball to Xie Chen, it seems that James already knows the Knicks' tactical play well, but even if James predicted in advance, his big body ran over, Xie Chen couldn't be alert at all, until he was cut off Xie Chen didn't realize James's appearance, this is too abnormal, this is not the usual Xie Chen's performance, and he only chased two steps before giving up the chase, it seems that he is really tired. ”

Ke Fan also said: "I also think that Xie Chen has a problem with his physical strength, when he ran two steps and stopped just now, he obviously couldn't lift his anger. ”

James was also surprised after gliding and dunking, he was confident in breaking Xie Chen's ball, but he thought that after breaking Xie Chen's ball, Xie Chen would be unwilling to chase him to the front court to cover himself, but Xie Chen, who didn't think about it, actually gave up chasing after him.

"Or maybe he can't catch up with me at all?" James looked at Xie Chen, who was panting, and became more aware of Xie Chen's current physical condition.

If Xie Chen was tired again at this time, then there would be no suspense in this game!

James finally smiled for the first time in a long time. (To be continued.) )
